A few months ago, when the film Escape From Tomorrow was still kind of relevant, four friends decided via Twitter to chat about the film in an episode of this podcast. Corralling said four friends took a little longer than planned. Beloved Twitter celebrities @EPCOTExplorer and @Epcot_Prime join Keith and Jeff for a very fun discussion on the controversial "film", and even share their theories on just what the heck it was about.

Episode 9: CineMagique

Jerry returns to wrap up the wonderfully successful Jerry Rees month over at The Disney Project. This time the topic is a little film he directed called CinéMagique, which just so happens to be the best in-park film Disney has ever done. In episode 8, Keith (maybe the world's biggest CinéMagique fan) challenged Jerry to stump him with some trivia questions about the film. Jerry comes prepared, with a full "baker's dozen" of questions, ready to give Keith a run for his money.

This is a podcast no CinéMagique fan should miss!
